Summary description: Babel support for documents written in Greek
Announcement text:
Fix ampersand in math. Greek 8-bit LGR fonts do not contain an ampersand symbol. The ampersand must work in text and math mode so we cannot simply re-define ``\&`` as a text command. Babel-Greek now provides the text command ``\textampersand`` and re-defines ``\&`` to use it in text mode. Thanks to Md Ayquassar for reporting the issue.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/babel-greek The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/babel-contrib/greek/
